No, NCL will be an RFL Member League, it is quite clear in the letter sent out

If you look at the letter it has purposely left the NCL off of any definition 9Seems strange as it's the flagship) but added certain leagues to the definitions !!!

Could this just be a the smoke screen to hide the truth of where the NCL Committee's loyalties lie ? you know the old saying out of sight out of mind.

The letter does say over the last 18 months considerable changes have been made in the way leagues have been managed and administrated by the RFL, Lets be truthful here, who are the leading figures within the Community Board and who do they represent even if they did do have independent views.

Is there a legal reason why the English Schools are affiliated to the second definition ?

Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits.

If as I suspect the RFL will start to offer friends with benefits even more benefits to definition 1 and your saying the NCL will be definition 2, well you know where I'm going with this one don't you.

You could look on the RFL website to find out who sits on the board and who they represent but I suspect you know who exactly they are.

I do and I'm still baffled on how some got there unless there has been a lot of string pulling or creeping because these guys are just being used to be the cheap butchers to gain the elite amateur clubs You only have to see where they cut funding and once they got the NCL on board and which clubs have and will benefit the most from the operational rules/guidelines to the loss of identification, the rest (pub teams) will be cut adrift.

A couple of warmers into the bank to aim you in the right direction to which definition 1 or 2 the NCL have their sights set, who is in control of the NCL website (I don't mean the Vichy government either) who can actually take complete control at the flick of a switch ? Who's computer software is getting blamed for fouling up this seasons NCL fixtures when the back of a fag packet would have sufficed and where do the RFL rep's site at a NCL meeting ?

The NCL is an Affiliated Tier 3 League as opposed to Conference South , which is a Member League

The NCL management committee is the Management group appointed to run the competition . The composition of the Management Committee is governed by the NCL constitution , which provides for elections by the members at AGM. The Committee is ultimately responsible to the member clubs for what it does.. It is elected by them and can be removed by them - who actually controls the NCL should therefore be pretty obvious to all except those who do not want to see.........

Does that mean the Operational rules have been signed with strings attached or you will abided by the operational rules to gain benefits but will not sign them ?

Peter has already stated on a earlier thread that in its present state no one should agree to the OR .
They are at the moment just draft rules and all leagues have the right to challenge and offer amendments .
Wether the RFL listen to any objections and amend is another matter , but as they stand at the moment there are numerous points which our little league will be objecting to .
What I won't become is an unpaid worker for the RFL I do what I do for the love of the game and if I am going to have my hands tied behind my back and told how give up my time by having to be tied to a dictatorial bible then it's a good bye from me .

The RFL can't run the amateur game without the help and cooperation of us volunteers just look at the mess they made of the National youth league as an example .
